BACKGROUND/AIM Increasing evidence is available about the role of prolactin in the development of various cancers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the frequency of thyroid cancer in patients with prolactinoma followed at a single site. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of 182 patients diagnosed with prolactinoma were reviewed retrospectively. Serum prolactin, antithyroglobuli...

We read with interest the article by Rosario et al., which summarized practical applicability of accessible imaging method in management thyroid nodules indeterminate cytologically (TNIC) (Rosario, al. 2021). For 18F-FDG-PET, it was stated that a nodule characterized low or absent 18F-FDG uptake is considered at very risk malignance, and thyroidectomy can be excluded if these tests suggest beni...

Abstract Background A number of ultrasound risk stratification systems (RSSs) thyroid nodule, often labeled as TIRADS (Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System), have been proposed. As a consequence, an increasing studies published on this topic. This systematic review was undertaken to answer specific questions in field: how many articles what type published, which TIRADSs/RSSs preferably dis...

OBJECTIVE The frequency of thyroid nodules accompanying Graves' disease and the risk of thyroid cancer in presence of accompanying nodules are controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of thyroid nodules and the risk of thyroid cancer in patients operated because of graves' disease. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Five hundred and twenty-six patients in whom thyroidectomy was pe...

Thyroid nodule is one of the common life-threatening diseases, and it had an increasing trend over last years. Ultrasound imaging a commonly used diagnostic method for detecting characterizing thyroid nodules. However, assessing entire slide images time-consuming challenging experts. For ultrasound in meaningful manner, there need automated, trustworthy, objective approaches. The recent advance...

Introduction Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with several cancer types, including papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Objective To explore further the relation between PHPT and PTC. Methods By considering patients with PHPT as extra-suspicious for PTC, we studied an exemplar group of patients with PHPT with a small (≤1 cm) thyroid nodule, which was negative in preoperative cytol...

Background Thyroid cancer diagnosis has evolved to include computer-aided (CAD) approaches overcome the limitations of human ultrasound feature assessment. This study aimed evaluate diagnostic performance a CAD system in thyroid nodule differentiation using varied settings. Methods Ultrasound images 205 nodules from 198 patients were analysed this retrospective study. AmCAD-UT software was used...

AIM to describe two cases of familial papillary thyroid carcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS patients were investigated by fine needle biopsy, MRI imaging and tumor biopsy, (first case) and histological examination of colonic and thyroid tumors (first case) and histological examination of thyroid tumor (second case). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION case presentation: first case, 68 years old man had a co...

To develop a conventional ultrasound (US) modified Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (mTI-RADS) to stratify the malignancy risk of thyroid nodule in coexisting Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). The study included 138 malignant and 292 benign thyroid nodules confirmed by cytological or histopathological results. The risk score (RS) for each significant US feature was estimated by multiplying...
